Oxo Good Grips 12-Inch Stainless-Steel Locking Tongs customer reviews:

after two years... 
i love OXO and my tongs are like an extension of my hands in the kitchen. i use them for everything.
for a company that exceeds every expectation i could have in the hand-held kitchen gadget market, there is one nit that needs to be picked with these tongs: the silicon rubber grips do not stay in the holes created for them and while it is not a show stopper (you won't burn yourself or drop anything as a result) it provides moments of frustration, particularly if you rely on them when you are in production mode.
also, the little thingy at the top that locks the tongs in place and then releases them bends after a while.
i have had my tongs for two years as of this writing and they will be with me for the foreseeable future, but it is worth noting the small design inconsistencies for those who would otherwise take it for granted that all OXO products perform superlatively. these tongs are good, but not great.
worth noting that my OXO tongs never go into a dishwasher and hang from a hook over my workspace (never banging around in a drawer), so i would say that they have been pampered when they are not being abused. hand wash only.
three stars.
Very good medium-length set of tongs
A 12" set of tongs like these cover 90% of your needs, unless you grill a lot, perhaps, or cook regularly with unusually large frying pans, braziers, or stockpots. I like the Oxo tongs quite a bit, which is saying a lot, as I don't think highly of the brand generally. These have a good feel to them, the rubber grip surface is effective for non-slip purposes as well as heat insulation, and the the locking mechanism makes it particularly easy to accommodate in kitchen drawers, the dishwasher, or a utensil pot. The ends have a useful bend to them that makes picking up food items easy. I wish the stainless were just a bit heavier-gauge, but in practice, I haven't had any bending problems.
Again, good for 90% of normal kitchen needs. A longer set of tongs is probably a better choice for grilling, but even there, these are fine for the odd item or so.
I have used these tongs constantly since receiving them
They are the best tongs I have ever had. Very sturdy and the locking device makes it very easy to store them. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
The best tongs.
I have quite a few of these, all still in working condition, they NEVER fail ! Okay, once the spring popped out of place on one which sucked and putting it back was a pain but other than that, no problems ! I use this for everything, works great. Theres a shorter version if you don't need the extra length and also a 16" version for the grill but I use this for my grill as well. As others have said, without this I'd be lost ! If something ever went wrong, I'd pick another one up in an instant, Oxo stainless steel can't be beat !
I Can't Review
This was part of a wedding gift set. I have not heard pro nor con about this item from the receiving couple.
